These clones are so good to the point where they may force the originals to lower their damn prices a some.

[@Paqman305]

Buying a clone that is 85-95% accurate and costs only 10% of the original is a no brainer for me. If it smells good, I’m buying it 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@TA-ht4jo]

Exactly! I feel the same way.

[@kaeganthornhill3936]

Indeed and in some cases the Clones smell and perform better than the Original. OG= Last 5 hours on Skin Clone= Last 9 hours on Skin. And project 2 feet further.

[@arthurbryant8023]

The clone phenomenon reveals the obscene profit margins the original houses are making. They could reduce prices by 50% or more and still be making some big bank.

[@johnwright689]

💯

[@natureboy4258]

I don’t know about that. A lot of these clones are oil based.

[@TA-ht4jo]

Facts!

[@errandrunner4933]

I would buy a clone to mix with my original. To keep my original longer.

[@Godstrumpet2010]

Clone companies have their ear to the market. We are in a recession. People need cost effective alternatives. The clones are really trying to compete with designers and niche companies.

[@WifiSlim]

I love Dua Fragrances🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MrRedstorm41]

I love clones. I have the money, and I'm still not going to pay $400 for a damn bottle of cologne!!

[@SilverFoxScents]

💯

[@TA-ht4jo]

Exactly! I feel the same way.

[@kaeganthornhill3936]

True. Thou usually the $400 would be getting 150ml bottle. So there's ways to get the real thing for cheaper and only use it for very special occasions. While use it's Clone everyday.

[@JuanHernandez-hf8zx]

I recently over the past couple years have got into fragrances with my two sons and to be honest having something that smells good and affordable is a great thing when you have to buy multiple of the same fragrance

[@empathyworks8890]

Im weird. I buy the original and then the clone, and then hardly use the original if the clone is good, or if Im feeling super fancy that day. I DO NOT buy the clone if I dont have the original because It feels 🤮

[@ericrobinson1789]

That's the move there bro.

[@ecapone9223]

I’m the same way.

[@TA-ht4jo]

To each his own.

[@TexasAlabamaBoi205]

I’ve bought several fragrances from $10 all the way to $500. Some of these clones are 🔥 and I always search for a clone before buying the original. Not everyone but a lot of people buy the OG and shxt on clones strictly because posting the OG online is a status symbol.

[@johnpope9975]

I use my clones fragrances for everyday and niche fragrances for special occasions unless you're into fragrances, most people won't know the difference

[@TA-ht4jo]

Boom! I say that all the time. Most people won’t know the difference because most people don’t wear fragrances or get into it.

[@Danmandingo]

*You should see some of DUAs fragrances...* 🔥 They make inspirations, hybrids, tribrids, quadbrids, of fragrances.

[@keithhogan2336]

Facts, they are putting out some straight up bangers...I have ogs and I have the clones, still pissed some of them are so cheap if I paid for the OG that is 😅

[@SilverFoxScents]

I just got into dua fragrances they are 🔥🔥🔥

[@Heyhey2545]

Alexandria is also a great clone house

[@Potterdood]

Personally my go to for clones is Parfum Parlour, they are amazing, I don't mind buying an original bc they invested the time and money into perfecting their scent, however sometimes I buy the clone to wear around the house when I don't want to use the original. For example their Absolu Aventus clone is spot on and so good and last all day. I want the original absolu but I don't want to spend the $400 to get it lol. Thanks for the video.

[@travispatterson5025]

Love the polo man great video

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day

[@kevin-jp7se]

[@Sam-xx7tj]

I have both original and clones. As long as they smell nice I don’t really care

[@jeremiahpauling7398]

Clones of discontinued fragrances are awsome. Having a spot on clone of an original scent is cool to go HAM with and preserve the original bottle. But there's something special about owning a great original fragrance. Everything from the presentation, to the vision and artistry of the perfurmers work is something to be appreciated. Most of us have blown $400 in a month that just vanished into thin air. If you love a fragrance save up and gift yourself with it.

[@platinum-linen]

Facts Clones of discontinued fragrances is probably the only way im getting one.

[@TA-ht4jo]

I don’t see the need or a reason to spend $400 on a bottle of cologne when I can get a high quality clone that is 95% close to it for $50!

[@carldoss4195]

Fire polo bro

[@DutchTheBibleThumper2]

lol some of these clones smell better and last longer than the original. I still prefer the original but I do enjoy clones also

[@mikecollins6298]

At the end of the day, clone or original, I just want to smell good. That's the point of wearing scents anyway.

[@TA-ht4jo]

Exactly! Smell good without emptying your bank account.

[@adamparris87]

I have Lapis Lazuli and have been waiting for a side by side comparison with Saffron Lazuli. I have 5 kids which is where most of my money and attention goes but I still gotta smell good so I typically live in the cheapie/clone space. Thank you for the video!

[@rumble5352]

Lots of great clones out there. For example, Royal Equestrian from Alexandria Fragrances is just as good as Parfum De Marly Layton to me. I mean it is fantastic. I have a lot of originals and a lot of clones and in many cases the clones are just good and better in some cases.

[@Polyfusia]

Boxing Day is the day after Christmas. We are having a Canada Day sale. Canada Day is July 1st and similar to July 4th in the US

[@misterelom]

It varies for me. In some cases I'm happy with having the clone over the original, in other cases, having the clone led to me buying the original because I loved the DNA so much that I wanted to experience it in OG form (Virgin Island Water for example which is now a top 5 in my collection), and in other instances, it's the original over everything. I will say though that clones are a great option if you wanted a fragrance that's discontinued. When I heard L'Homme Ideal Cologne, Gucci Pour Homme II, and 1 Million Prive were discontinued I went out and got clones of each since I owned & loved those originals and realized I won't be able to have them again any other way.

[@beasy289]

What's the virgin island water clone that you would recommend?

[@misterelom]

@@beasy289 Alexandria Fragrances Hawaii Volcano Intense. Yom & Layl has a good one too called Spring Island.

[@alphonsoflowers6748]

I have a few clones but I tend to prefer the originals. The smell good but for whatever reason don’t do will on my skin.

[@user-lm8sr8zn3p]

I grew up poor and my parents worked hard to provide me with the essentials. So while I might be able to burn a couple or few $100 bills on a single fragrance, my parents would probably spin in their graves. (God, rest their souls.) Bowtie has a precise nose, and I’m sure he can discern differences between originals and clones. As a longtime chemist I could probably do the same with some practice given that scent is an essential skill in my profession. The point isn’t whether we can ascertain differences but, rather, whether those differences justify the 10-to-1 price differential between the two. So far in my life I have not been able to afford to buy the stocks of luxury goods companies such as LVMH, Richemont and Kering. But if I could, then maybe I too would stress the quality and originality of their luxury goods (including fragrances), badger about the high cost of an absolute or extract, and continually express the sentiment that fragrances are a form of art. As it is, however, I find top-shelf fragrance like high fashion to be something of a scam for the ages…even though I enjoy the luxury that clones and an occasional decant can provide me. By analogy I’m certain that a Porsche is better than my GM car even though I’m not likely to ever own one, because the value proposition just isn’t there for me. Even if I could afford a Porsche, there is enough misery and uncertainty in this world that I feel my (admittedly imaginary) money could be applied to far better uses. Ditto for top-shelf fragrances, with all due respect to those who prefer them and have the good fortune of being able to choose them.

[@eldridgeherrin8142]

Whats up Phi

[@CryptoPaysMeDaily]

It's just like anything. If you are a real fragrance connoisseur you buy the real thing because you appreciate the differences in the quality. I know for me many clones smell good but to me they are not the same and for the most part they don't give you the same longevity and performance. When you smell and understand the quality you always want that in your fragrance.

What is the cheapest vanilla clone please Mr bowtie

I actually prefer both but I buy the OG 1st and then get the clone to compare the 2

All i buy is clones. They smell good and i can afform them in high quantities

I buy clones so i don’t use the original i had bought a couple that you suggested & they were good but i think you right there is a slight difference in quality but boy the three i have now smell really good & the shocking part is how long they last

Donna favor do clones vs originals so we can see how your nose works haha I’d guess you get 3 out of 10 right

[@mahyar7126]

Personally, I do not like buying colones, except when they are discontinued (like Dareej), but buying a colone that its OG already exists is like lying to myself, I don't do it.

[@meralddrayton2106]

Bowtie you finally getting it talk about clones ,nobody trying to pay all that money for a fragrance brother.

[@JustTheConcerts]

I don’t mind buying the original fragrance if they were set at reasonable prices. If a clonehouse is charging $30 or something and the original is 100 or maybe 125 I’m going to buy the original. However, I’m not paying $200 or more for these overpriced fragrances.

[@user-lm8sr8zn3p]

Yes, especially when most of the fragrance is water and denatured alcohol. Where’s the quality, or value, in that?

[@davidwhite6581]

I wish clones were made at 50% of the cost instead of 85%. I think the cloners could do better and it wouldnt make sense to get the original if they did that.

[@MrTonytalk]

Just sad because if anyone in these comments started something and someone else ripped them off they would be PISSED.

[@Polyfusia]

These companies make millions and sometimes billions of dollars. Most niche/high end perfumery is sold at a huge markup over what its worth. Most of my 50 bottle collection is genuine niche, rare discontinued designer releases etc and I enjoy it. I know that my little 50ml Amouage is not worth what they charge for it at retail though. They know they overcharge by a lot for the name and prestige. Inflation is decimating the middle class. They can't afford the insane prices, so they buy clones. The original companies are fine. They are fabulously wealthy. They could lower their prices to something more reasonable, but they don't. They're in the luxury business.

[@user-lm8sr8zn3p]

Yes, high fragrance prices on the order of $1000 per pound for something that is mostly water and denatured alcohol. Do the math. Even clone prices are on the order of $100 per pound, so designer and especially niche fragrance prices are just insanely high no matter what quality essential oils they are using.

[@jb2257]

Cheaper always wins lol no one sees your 1k+ bottle at the nba game floor seats they just smell you
